I had yes today a meeting with a rep from out local solar company. I am kind of greenish pussy and have a house with a big rood turned to south – so I was wondering to put in there a large array of solar panels. Massachusetts has a very wide collection of solar rebates and solar tax incentives:

…personal Tax Credits, property and sales tax exemptions, Massachusetts manufactured equipment bonus and etc. I do not mind to do it but I am a bit afraid that the solar inverter will screw up the sound of my electricity as it will be effectively multiple PurePower running at the same time…

 I found a local company that has a bit different business model. They do not sell you equipment and let to you store the electricity but they rather lease you the inhaled panels (no money out of pocket), install a separate meter that re-sells the energy to my utility company. So, the whole ceremony costs absolutely nothing to me and I effectively just lease my roof to them, in exchange to the profit sharing for the sold energy.  They claim that they have 12c per kW, while my utility company changes 17c, so effectively it will lower my electricity bill by 1/3. Not much but it is $100 a month with no investment of any kind.

Well, naturally what I worry if that type of regeneration and injection of contra-current into the grid will not screw up Sound. They allow me to go to one of their local clients and to measure the harmonics with their solar panels on and off, something that I am contemplating to do. Still, I am very concern that the cheap micro-generators that they use will do very bad sonically. I do not even mention that if Obama will not be reelected then all those companies might go down….

Anyhow, did anybody have any experience with sound from the renewable sources or how the presence of the renewables impacts Sound of the grid?
